This is known from one of Pertamina’s official Instagram uploads seen by Carmudi, Friday (21/7/2023).
It is known that there are at least 4 types of Pertamina tank cars when referring to differences in color and shape.
Red and White Tank Car
Pertamina’s tank car with red and white colors is probably the one that is most often seen on the streets.
This kind of car has the task of transporting fuel to Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU) and Pertashop.
Blue and White Tank Car
Furthermore, tank cars with blue and white colors will be found more frequently in industrial areas.
This is because this kind of car has the role of delivering fuel to industrial consumers, aka Business-to-business (B2B).
Mobil Skid Tank
Pertamina also has a skid tank car which has the characteristic of a tubular tank behind it.
Not for fuel, the skid tank car is tasked with distributing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to the Bulk Elpiji Filling Station (SPBE).
Mobil Refueller
The next type of Pertamina tank car is called a refueller.
Even though it uses red and white colors, refueller cars transport avtur which is aircraft fuel.
Based on the same source, Pertamina through Elnusa Petrofin now manages around 1,800 units of tank cars and has 665 asset tank cars.
Another fact is that the types of Pertamina tank cars have various capacities, ranging from 5,000 liters to 40,000 liters.
Especially for tank cars that have a capacity of more than 8,000 liters, they are equipped with a separator inside.
This allows tank cars to carry more than one type of fuel.
